1 upin' me huh? Yeah, I really want one of the 2 or 3 liter boots (and apparently they make a 4 liter) but considering that the only time that I would use an ornate, delicate glass drinking boot would probably be when I have consumed a fair share of beer, it would probably be better to hold off on the purchase.

The movers broke my very favorite pint glass. it was from Lauginatis. Being out here in the mancave, it really kind of sucks humping dirty / clean glassware to / from the house all the time. Plus, my glasses always seem to make their way into the dishwasher somehow. And, quite often in the cabinets in the house. I'm thinking I will be starting to rely heavily on the big red plastic cups. Especially on poker night.

I also have a ton of glassware. I have a lot of shaker pint glasses - but I use those for water, OJ, or tea. I have GABF taster glasses going back to 1995. I have every Anchor Christmas Ale glass going back to 1990 or so. I have a display cabinet in the dining room with the really nice glasses (mostly with gold or silver etching). I have about 20 steins (some litre, some .5 liter) mounted around the bar in the basement and a rack system on the back wall with about 20 different stemmed tulip-type glassware. I have about 100 3-oz tulip-type stemmed tasting glasses (all collected from Big Beers in Vail over the years) that I use for tastings. My go to glass is usually the ones I had made for my wedding a few years back - 10oz tulip stemmed glasses with my brewery logo etched on the front and our wedding date of the back. I have 3 of those left.

I am done with my confession now.

I like to collect imprinted pint glasses, but don't have tons of room for glasses, so the beer glasses are my every-day-multi-beverages kitchen cupboard glasses. I have a good dishasher that leaves them clean enough to drink beer regardless of what they held before being washed.

Don't get me wrong, I do have another whole cabinet/bookshelf full of glasses: weizen, Belgian goblets, more pint glasses, wine glasses (red and white), large cocktail glasses, collins glasses, whiskey glasses, tequila glasses, flutes, and wine decanter. In the closet stored in their boxes are four cases of 5-ounce beer tasting glasses for flights. The ones that get the least use are the collins glasses.

My collection of glassware became much smaller two weeks ago. I was moving a table from my shop to the craft/game/beer room and caught the leg of the table all my glasses were on. The lurch was just right to knock about half of my glassware off the table and on to the concrete floor. It was a major mess but made picking what glass to use much easier.
